GERMAN exchange students visiting teenagers at a Pendle high school are looking forward to tonight's epic Euro 2000 clash between the old foes England and Germany.

The group of teenagers from the Black Forest are in the middle of a 10-day stay with students at Primet High, Colne.

The young fans are due to watch the game together while enjoying a barbecue at the home of one of the families hosting a German guest.

And while each set of fans will be cheering their side on, head David Fletcher said the main goal was to have a great time.

"I'm sure the two groups will be cheering on their own side but in the end it's a fun night out for them and whoever wins, it will all be good-natured," he said.

One young German lad, 15-year-old Fabian Thomas will be taking a special interest.

He has been signed by a Black Forest team that feeds the German league.
